since w equal the width, the equation for the length is 5 times the width minus 2

that can be represented as 5w-2

the equation for perimeter is 2l+2w=p, where l is the length, w is the width, and p is the perimeter

so, plug in the equation we found into the length part of the perimeter equation and leave 2w the same

2(5w-2)+2w

that makes A correct

however, when you distribute the 2, the equation becomes 10w-4+2w

combine like terms to get 12w-4

that would make d also correct


in conclusion, a and d are the correct answers

hope that helps!!

Answer:

A, C, D

Explanation:

P = 2L + 2W

L = 5W - 2

P = 2(5W - 2) + 2W

P = 10W - 4 + 2W

P = 12W - 4

Answer choices A, C, and D = 12W - 4

I hope this helps!
